“Grey’s Anatomy” showrunner Shonda Rhimes is standing by her star Jesse Williams, after he became the subject of a petition calling for him to be fired from the ABC show for his so-called “racist” BET Awards show speech June 26.

A woman named Erin Smith has gathered 7,000 signatures on a Change.org petition, accusing Williams of spewing “racist hate speech against law enforcement and white people” at the BET awards, the New York Daily News reported.

Smith obviously wasn’t moved, as were so many others were, by Williams’ words upon accepting a Humanitarian Award at the June 26 event.

The actor-activist, who plays a handsome doctor on the hit hospital drama, used the occasion and inspiration from the Black Lives Matters movement to address systemic oppression and police brutality.

Williams powerful speech was widely praised and turned him into the night’s breakout star.

But Smith sees things differently, writing on the petition that a double standard is at work when Williams receives praise but other stars, such as Mel Gibson, Paula Deen and “Grey’s Anatomy” star Isaiah Washington, face public condemnation for making racist or homophobic comments.

“If this was a white person making the same speech about an African American, they would have been fired and globally chastised, as they should be, but there has been no consequences to Williams’ actions,” Smith wrote.

She also took umbrage at people assuming she was either white or a Donald Trump supporter.

Rhimes wasn’t moved by anything Smith’s petition had to say. She tweeted to her 1.25 million followers, with the hashtag #shondalandrules: “Um, people? Boo don’t need a petition.”

Williams also took to Twitter to address the controversy, urging his followers to ignore people’s “tantrums.”

He wrote: “Pure clickbait to gain followers, attention & money, for themselves, not you. Never you.”

Meanwhile, a rival petition, titled “Don’t let the racists win!” and calling on the show to not fire Williams, has gathered more than 20,000 signatures so far.
